Better user Xvfb.
Depending on the distribution you use you can
place a start script like this in /etc/init.d or
/etc/rc.d/init.d to start xvfb.
XVFB=/usr/X11R6/bin/Xvfb
XVFBARGS=":99 -screen 0 1024x768x24 -fbdir /var/run -ac"
PIDFILE=/var/run/xvfb.pid
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting virtual X frame buffer: Xvfb"
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE --make-pidfile
--background --exec $XVFB -- $XVFBARGS
echo "."
;;
stop)
echo -n "Stopping virtual X frame buffer: Xvfb"
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE
echo "."
;;
restart)
$0 stop
$0 start
;;
*)
echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/xvfb {start|stop|restart}"
exit 1
esac
exit 0
This is what we use for debian.
:99 is the value for the xserver id that must be set
in the DISPLAY env.
DISPLAY=localhost:99.0
Additionaly you have to define a link in /etc/rc?.d to this file
for the run levels where you need the Xvfb. (This is for debian,
other distributions
For tomcat you can do the same.
